Marriage-Based Immigration

Is this you?
My future spouse is from abroad and I believe I may need to file a marriage-based immigration application.

Do any of these apply to you?

There is a significant age difference between me and
my spouse.

We had a brief courtship and were engaged or married
on our first in-person meeting.

My foreign spouse does not speak English well.

We have spent very little time together in person so
far.

My future spouse was denied a visitor or other visa
before.

We may have made some false statements or used
fraudulent documents previously in applying for
immigration.

My future spouse was here before and overstayed the
term of his or her visa.

My future spouse did not enter the country legally.

My future spouse was deported or removed from this
country previously.

My future spouse has a criminal record, or I have
one.

My future spouse has an illness.

We don’t have a lot of documents proving the extent
of our relationship.

I have an unstable financial situation as the
sponsor.

I am confused about what to do.

I am overwhelmed by all the immigration paperwork.

I can’t get a straight answer from immigration
officials or advisors.

If your answer is yes to any one of these, then we need to talk. Contact me now.
